I'm an expertI spent four years of my life acquiring a PhD. This makes me an expert in the use of transparency in computer interfaces. It's not a hugely useful or interesting expertise, but it's all mine. I'm pretty hot at sitting on the sofa, too.
What are you lot experts in?

WeatherI got a Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences, but soon discovered that no one really cared about heterogeneous nucleation of the ice phase. What everyone wants to know is: is it going to rain tomorrow?
Last summer, a frazzled friend and his mates in Florida needed help deciding whether to flee or stay, with all the hurricanes crashing around. Soon discovered the jobsworth meteorologists in Miami were too frightened of making mistakes to give the most timely information to the public.
So, it was fun giving advance warning to my small audience: Stay! Head south! Watch out! Sort-of like paintball, and easy to do for someone who didn't have an ass to cover.
